Absolutely gorgeous. Leave early and ovoid the crowds. The were stunning, and back in time for a late breakfast. Amazing views, but definitely not easy for beginners. We used easy route and we struggled a lot. Especially coming down was hardest. Lucky we didn't have too hot weather or rain. Parked in national Trust car park at the bottom of the mountain. An amazing to with wonderful views. It takes around 1.5h to go up and 1h10min. It is not the easiest hike, it not difficult as well. Car park is £7.5 for all day, there is a toilet and WiFi, what is really useful. Great and good path. Around 1.5hr climb. Fabulous walk and stunning views. Only downside. It can get quite crowded on top, especially in the summer months. But it's worth the hassle of the crowds and you will be blown away with the views. With so many possible routes this is a lovely with dramatic from the top. As long as you go prepared for possible weather changes and the temperature difference (6 degrees cooler at the peak than at 200m on our climb) you will be fine. Make sure you are reasonably fit and it will be an awesome day of climbing up, and the descent. It is strenuous but well worth the effort. Highest South Wales. Relatively easy access from the Storey Arms car parks makes it a busy but, linger a while (take a torch) and you can get some peace and solitude. Definitely easy to underestimate this one, was a really good hike and even though it’s steep and a tough it’s easy to do and once your at the top the are breathtaking and you can officially say your over +800m in the air too, so if your in the area or need a family walk I would recommend this one An excellent walk with amazing views. I took a diret route, starting at the Storey Arms and reaching the summit within 80 minutes. It is a fairly steep but manageable for average fitness. Thoroughly enjoyed waking up the with my son who was really pushing the pace! The were amazing and simply got better as we scaled up higher. Ensure you have good boots to scale the on a wet day as the path can get treacherous down hill. Lovely climb, weather very changeable always check weather forecast and carry a back pack with supplies and layers. Always walking boots not trainers as can be slip coming down, toilets in National Trust car park Pont ar Daf or can park Storey Arms. Probably an hour and ten minutes depending on your route and fitness, and also if you do Corn Du first. Pen y Fan, the tallest summit in South Wales, provides stunning vistas and an unforgettable experience for outdoor enthusiasts. Absolutely loved doing this is am so chuffed with my self for achieving this we set off at 4am got up there for half 5 just in time for sunrise it only took us so long because I had to keep sitting down because I have spinal problems struggle walking was absolutely out of this world Website change monitoring Monitor any webpage for changes – get instant email alerts when prices drop, new jobs are posted, products come back in stock, or competitors update their sites.
